1998 MARYLAND ADOLESCENT SURVEY

HOW TO ADMINISTER THE SURVEY

 

¨ Today you will be taking the Maryland Adolescent Survey. The survey was developed by

the Maryland State Department of Education; Department of Health and Mental Hygiene,

Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration; and Maryland Department of Transportation, State Highway Administration. The purpose of this survey is to find out what Maryland students think about tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs, and to learn how frequently these drugs are being used by students.

¨ This class has been selected to participate in the survey. More than 25,000 students in

grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 will be taking this survey across Maryland today.

¨ Participation is not required; however, your involvement is important in providing an

accurate profile of students in this county and state.

¨ Your answers are confidential. No one will know how you responded to this survey.

¨ Do not write your name in the booklet.

¨ You will have the whole class period to complete this survey.

¨ Carefully read the directions and questions.

¨ Use a pencil to mark the answer that best describes you or your experiences. Indicate your

answer by putting an "X" in the appropriate box.

¨ If you do not recognize a specific drug name, you probably have not used the drug,

therefore, mark "Never Used" as your answer and move to the next question.

¨ Once you have finished, please stay in your seat and work on classwork or read a book.

¨ I will have a student collect the booklets at the end of the class period.
